Issue

Unable to click the mouse or meaningfully type with the keyboard after doing as described in the next section:

Steps to reproduce

Click on the desktop. Type any letter to bring up the desktop search above the clock. Right click in the desktop search text box and select "Insert emoji" Click on the desktop. Move the mouse. The mouse is now selecting a region on the desktop as one would by clicking and holding and dragging around except that now no meaningful input works. I can resolve this by logging out of the session using ctrl-alt-backspace and then logging back in.

Expected behaviour

Not that.

Other information

The attached syslog file is short because this is incredibly easy to reproduce so I just did it right after midnight local.

I reproduced this bug. You can use ALT-TAB and close as many software as possible. After, you can use CTRL-ALT-F1, log in, use top command and kill nemo-desktop.
